MARK BARON, OF CHELSEA, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR 0F ONE-HALF TO A. RABINO- WITSOH, OF CHELSEA, -IVIASSACHUSETTS.

SHOE-HEEL.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 25, 19119.

Application filed April 15, 1918. Serial No. 228,717.

sea, in the county of Sufi'olk and State of;

l\lassachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Shoe-Heels, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to shoe heels and it consists in the novel features hereinafter described and claimed.

*An object of the invention is to provide ashoe heel of such structure that the leather lift which is usually mounted upon the heel may be readily detached therefrom and a rubber lift substituted in the place thereof.

In other words the lift, whether leather or rubber may be indiscriminately applied to the heels, and when conditions would make it desirable to use a rubber heel it may be attached and when it is desired to use a leather heel the leather lift may be applied to the body of the heel.

In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a side elevation of a shoe with the heel applied thereto and shown in section.

Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view of the heel and Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, I have shown a lift 5 within which is inclosed a washer 4 which is provided with a stud 7 adapted to engage in a socket member S which is embedded in the heel of the shoe. The stud. 7 is provided with a pointed threaded extension 9 which passes through the center of the socket member 8 and enters the .heel of the shoe. The stud 7 is provided with a shoulder 9 which bears against *the bottom of the socket in the member 8 and holds the same in place in the heel of the shoe. Rubber washers 10 are embedded in the lift 5 and screws 11 pass through the Washers 10 and lift 5 and enter the body of the heel whereby the lift 5 is restrained against turning movement on the heels.

V'Vhen the shoe is provided with inter changeable lifts, one being leather and one being rubber, both of the lifts are provided with studs 7 and the rubber or composition lift is provided with the specific means hereinbefore stated.

From the foregoing description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing it will be seen that a shoe heel of simple and durable structure is provided and that interchangeable lifts may be conveniently used upon the same as conditions may require.

Having described. the invention, what is claimed is:

A heel structure comprising a lift,- a stud carried by the lift, a socket member receiving the stud, the stud having a shoulder which engages the bottom of the socket member, said stud being provided with a threaded pointed member which passes through the socket member, and securing devices passing through the lift.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

MA K BARON.
